Fig.1 The fibres were tilted out of the plane normal to the X-ray beam 10° in order to record the 003 reflecrion (0.443 nm spacing). The specimen-to-film distance was approx. 30 mm. Exposure times were 23 h for the (Ca2+salt and 11 h for the Sr2 + salt). The relative humidky was maintained at 75%. Fibre diffraction patterns of the :

(a)Fibre diffraction patterns of the Ca2+ i-carrageenate.
